Around the 1990's, online dating is a new idea. Unlike today, most people don't have a PC or even have been accessing to the internet. Times have changed. Online dating is not only IN the mainstream, it IS the mainstream.

There are many reasons for the phenomenal growth of online dating sites and the number of people, men and women of all ages, races and religions who use them as their primary source for meeting people and looking for "special one".

If you don't believe, ask your friends in the world "real". If they were honest, most of them will tell you that they have or are using an online dating service.

Here are three good reasons why thousands of people sign up for dating services everyday:

(1) You can be anonymous. You will never be asked to give your real name, address, email address, phone number or place of work. You are not required to send your photos. Post pictures, however, will get more responses to your profile. So you can surf through the other members of your dating site to join with full anonymity.

(2) You have so many  choices in the online world. Before the world of  online dating is coming, choice of friends and even a lifelong partner is limited to those we come in contact with through college or work. No more ... The world is your oyster. You get hundreds of ... Even thousands of profiles to find the right guy for you.

(3) "Safety factor" is the biggest reason of all. Online dating service will never disclose your personal information. You can choose to have the information and when they have it.
